How to Win Buff-a-Move Festival

Dash Away

Rune Factory 5 - Dash Away.png
The primary objective of the game is to use the Dash mechanic to move out of the way of any incoming Buffamoos. To do this correctly, wait for the animals to come near you as they charge before Dashing away to register a successful dodge.

Dodging Yellow and Gray Buffamoos will yield decent and high points respectively, while Blue Buffamoos will yield more. Managing to perform "Perfect" Dashes will also help to give the player more points.

Points Needed

Result Points Needed
1st Place More than 17,000 Points
2nd Place More than 15,000 Points
3rd Place More than 14,700 Points

In order to top the rankings for this contest, you will need to gain at least 17,000 Points.

Dashing away from Buffamoos without getting hit by them will apply a multiplier to the amount of points you get, while getting hit by them will take away points as well as end any point multiplier you get from dodging Buffamoos consecutively.
